SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 695,533, dated June 14, 1898. Application filed August 19,1897: Serial No. 648,818- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern I Be it known that I, WILLIAM WAKEFIELD I/VOROESTER, a citizen of the United States, re-

siding at Jeffersonville,in the county of Clarke and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Brush, of which the followingis a specification.

My invention relates to improvement in devices for polishing shoes, especially tan shoes; and the objects of my improvement are, first, to adapt the usual and convenient" brush by removing the polishing fabric. I

attain these objects by the construction shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows a plan of'a brush constructed according to my improvement, and Fig. 2 a vertical longitudinal section of the same.

Referring now to the details of the drawings by numerals, 1 represents the block, in which are set rows of brushes of bristles 2, over and between which is set a convoluted cloth 3, the convolutions of whichare held by the wires 6, whose ends are turned down and forced into the blocks, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2. The ends of the cloth are preferably fastened by tacks 4 to the blocks 1 at each end. By this arrangement the cloth is held always in position in such a manner that the brush isnot likelyto get out of order.

. What I claim as new is- As an improved article of manufacture, a brush, provided with a series of rows of bristles 2, convolutions of fabric 3, covering said bristles and wires 6, set between the rows of bristles to hold the convolutions in place, substantially as described.
